An intrinsic part of daily life is losing — whether it be the loss of our temper, our car keys, our children’s attention, our job or the heartbreaking loss of our cherished partner, friend, or parent. Losing is not the end of the story. It is possible to make a deliberate choice, eventually, to look for findings, new insights, new and/or deeper relationships.

Bereavement counselor and author Annie Hisle will explore how “losing and finding” are partners in the dance of life. Stories, quotes, and wisdom teachings will be shared, and time for personal and group journaling and meditation will be provided. Lunch is included. Guided by Annie Hisle.

Annie Hisle is a practicing psychotherapist and bereavement counselor and is a retired Montgomery Hospice grief counselor group facilitator. She is a spiritual companion, a home bound minister, workshop facilitator, and author of two books: My House Burned Down and Now I Can See the Stars and Remembering Smiles. She enjoys seven nearby grandchildren, yoga, movies, meals, long walks with her spouse and/or friends, as well as participating in her Shalem Centering Prayer Group, her bi-monthly women’s group, and a book group.

Take advantage of our Earlybird special rate of $60 through 3/26/2025.
